Yesterday this movie (trailer below) was on TV. What a great Film about the Blue Note Record History, from 2018 with so interesting report and actual interviews, with Herbie Hancock, Lou Donaldson and Wayne Shorter among many others. For me the best Jazz docu since many years.
I could not find the film on you tube in full length but perhaps it is somewhere on a streaming service. Many of the shown records are in my vinyl shelf. I was aware of some of the stories about Bluenote but e.g. I did not know that we would not know Monk’s music at all without Alfred Lion‘s imagination and engagement.
